Monday evening
He ate like a ravenous pig! YIPPPPEEEE! He's looking a bit more Lincolnish now. We're crossing our fingers that this lasts because he's being weaned again off steroids and Motrin is now only 'as needed' - which means we're trying to stop this too. Here's to hoping. He still complains of a headache (8 on a scale of 1-10) and that's on lots of meds - but he's looking better today - even laughed (alright, small chuckle) at a few of my jokes. One time just to see if he was "in there" and to see if he would give some kind of reaction, I asked him, "Are you going to be alright if I go outside to have a cigarette?" HAHAHHAAHHA I'm still laughing about it. His head whipped right around because of course he knows that his mother does not smoke. Maybe if I throw out a few more of those 'absurdities' then maybe he'll start hearing me and stop treating me like I sound like Charlie Brown's teacher ("Waaa Waaa wa wa wa"). We're going for a walk because I had Starbucks frappuccino ice cream and an rarin' to go! (hey he just said, "Um Mom. ...It's time to release the Kraken" - he's coming back to me! More on this later - must stop typing and locate the hand urinal!)
I am praying for Lincoln everyday, very intently. Can you tell him that I cannot wait to come to Greeneville and see him and we can talk all about planet X and zombies? He is an amazing kid. :)

ReplyDeleteJust remembered, the steroids create appetite... but what it doesn't do is create thirst.. and Lincoln HAS BEEN drinking a LOT more! That's great because that's HIM, not the steroids. We watched Hancock tonight (I'm commenting at oh, neat! it's midnight.. 4/20??) and Lincoln LAUGHED --at the funny parts.. It's a good Superhero movie.. but not a typical superhero movie.. Anyway, today was better than yesterday!
ReplyDeleteHooray! I am loving all this great news! Keep it up Lincoln, Miss Candy is driving me nuts without you around here! I am praying all the time for your speedy recovery! Love to you and your family, Carla
